Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Religion / buddhism, spirituality
Portuguese term or phrase: vivó
This is in a text composed of fragments of text and conversations primarily relating to Buddhism and Eastern religion/spirituality and held on facebook (so FB here is facebook) But what is 'vivó'?

Face book, phase book, love book, f**k book, para todos os (des)gostos.
Da cultura do livro já não nos safamos, mesmo sabendo que a sabedoria não mora na biblioteca.
O mundo dos humanos pode (acabar).
Pelo caminho que as coisas levam, muito do que conhecemos hoje vai certamente mudar profundamente.
As ideias de progresso e a esperteza ocidental têm os dias contados.
*Vivó* FB.
Porque não : TUDO É ILUSÃO?

thanks in advance

agree  Douglas Bissell: hooray would be better than "viva", but yeah. Long live sounds false and dated
